Just received my order from CPZ two new fog light lenses and top and bottom oem radiator hoses. After 27 years I think new hoses would be a good thing and the fog light will be brighter.

 

 

Nice one Gaz.....!

Christmas started very early for my Z this year! ? 

Nice buys Gary?

We spoil them to much mate ?

New fog lenses make such a difference to the front of the car. Mine are border line, but holding out on changing them as I have enough going on with the car already that is costing the Christmas bonus!

Have you thought about "silvering" the inside of the fog lamp housing that is visable through the lense? Joel did it to his lamps and I plan to do the same.

Thanks for the heads up Andrew might look into that ?

It does freshen them up nicely, even a new set! I used a good quality aluminium foil tape and the access is only by removal of screws, no heating of glues etc to separate the cluster!

New top and bottom hoses fitted and new coolant added.

Thanks Richard and the old hoses were not that bad so they will be kept with my spare parts. The mechanic noticed the rear tyres are getting very close to their markers so that will need sorted and  pads for the rear brakes. 

Hi Gary, I have just replaced my rear brake pads.

I feel my brakes are good at this time.

Also like you I got new fog lenses a couple of years ago.

I purchased a set of fogs not for the lenses but for the backs!

These cars certainly love eating through their rear tyres..... Assuming they are driven correctly, of course...?

You can get Mintex rear pads pretty cheaply on Ebay - I bought a set of these to keep in the garage for the future

I can recommend these pads - saved them to my eBay watchlist after the last time you recommended them Richard. Needed replacements back in November and had them fitted. Been absolutely fine since fitted and they’re so cheap! Bought from that same supplier with quick delivery.

Nice work Art and yes you can get either the front lenses or the backs. Hope to fit mine soon.

Good find Richard and I just ordered a set.

Two new rear Toyo  Proxes 265x35x18 fitted today. My last tyres was fitted on the 11th November 2011 so they lasted over ten years ! But only about 9k miles on them.

Just checked my mot for 2011 and I had 60 thousand miles on the Z so thats 15 thousand miles on the rear tyres ? I'm a careful driver lol.

I bet you were keeping an eagle eye on that trolley jack going under the car!

I did Andrew and he took his time to find a good jacking point so all good.

I bet the same thing too..... 

.....I'm always hovering over tyre fitters like a hawk where the Zed is concerned!!

Just landed and a wee job for later.

New rear pads on and note to myself "You dont need to take the caliper of to get the pads changed"  Old pads had Nissan markings so I think these were the factory fitted pads. Wheel arch and suspension parts cleaned and WD40 sprayed and alloys had a good clean inside and out. Job done ?
